Skein

Skein climbs the slab to vertical face between

Golden Goat

and

Sweet and Innocent

.

Start on easy terrain for 20 feet above the small ledge belay area to reach a high first bolt. Balance your way past the beautiful green and yellow lichen covered slab (mid 5.12) to reach moderate terrain and a great rest below the vertical headwall. Sneak past a short choss band section the reach to start of the crux. Crimp your way up the thin, sustained technical headwall for the next 3 bolts to reach a huge jug rail. Relax here and clip the last bolt. A few more fun moves on good holds will get you to the anchor.

*Huge thanks to the FCC and OSMP for making new routes like this possible in the Flatirons!, and to Stephen Felker for assisting in the development of the route.

11 bolt to a 2 bolt anchor.
